This Spanish recipe for spicy potatoes with a tomato sauce is traditionally served as part of a tapas meal – when lots of little dishes are served with sherry. We love them as a nibble on their own – and they are fantastic served with roast chicken wings or drumsticks or even roasted cod. Smoked paprika is essential as it gives the unique flavour, there are both sweet and hot varieties – ideally use the hotter one. You could also cheat and use a pack of frozen roast potatoes or even oven chips to make this recipe!

Chorizo, chickpea and potato soup

This quick and easy stewy soup is surprisingly filling, plus the low cost ingredients make it great value if you’re feeding a crowd. Winter comfort food doesn’t get much better than these combination of flavours; the deeply smoked paprika and fiery chilies in the Spanish pork chorizo give the soup a real kick, that’s subtly offset by the creaminess of the chickpeas and potatoes (make this soup even spicier by adding a sprinkling of dried chilli flakes). If you’ve got time on your hands then use dried chickpeas and soak them in a bowl of cold water overnight.
